The Biblical Apocrypha




If you own a King James Bible, the first and biggest change you will notice is that the original 1611 edition contained several extra books in an appendix between the Old and New Testaments labeled “The books of the Apocrypha.” The appendix includes several books, which are found in the Catholic Old Testament such as the books of Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch, 1st and 2nd Maccabees and others.
Some may be tempted to dismiss the omission of these books from the King James Bible as superfluous “add on” to the translation and that its omission really does not change anything important about the King James Bible. On the contrary, the so-called "Apocrypha” formed an integral part of the text, so much so that the Protestant scholar E. G. Goodspeed once wrote:

“Whatever may be our personal opinions of the Apocrypha, it is a historical fact that they formed an integral part of the King James Version, and any Bible claiming to represent that version should either include the Apocrypha, or state that it is omitting them.  Otherwise a false impression is created.” [Story of the Apocrypha (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1939, p. 7]

If you pick up a modern copy of the King James Version and open to the title page, chances are you’ll not see any mention of the deliberate omission of these books (e.g. “The King James Version without the Apocrypha”). After all, who would want to put a negative statement about a product on the title page? However, perhaps to avoid false advertising, publishers do notify you that books are missing by cleverly stating the contents in a positive fashion like “The King James Version Containing the Old and New Testaments.” If you didn’t know that the Apocrypha was omitted, you’d probably assume that you are reading a complete King James Bible since most modern Protestant Bibles contain only the Old and New Testaments anyway. Hence, as Goodspeed warns “a false impression is created.”1

All King James Bibles published before 1666 included the Apocrypha. In 1826, the British and Foreign Bible Society decided that no BFBS funds were to pay for printing any Apocryphal books anywhere. Since then most modern editions of the Bible and reprintings of the King James Bible omit the Apocrypha section. In the 18th century, the Apocrypha section was omitted from the Challoner revision of the Douay-Rheims version. In the 1979 revision of the Vulgate, the section was dropped. Modern reprintings of the Clementine Vulgate commonly omit the Apocrypha section. Many reprintings of older versions of the Bible now omit the apocrypha and many newer translations and revisions have never included them at all.2

The classic Spanish translation of the Bible is that of Casiodoro de Reina, revised by Cipriano de Valera. It was for the use of the incipient Protestant movement and is widely regarded as the Spanish equivalent of the King James Version. This was the first version of the complete Bible in Spanish (including Apocrypha), and is known as "Biblia del Oso" because of the honey-eating bear on its title page.

                                                          

Catholic Bibles contain the entire canonical text identified by Pope Damasus and the Synod of Rome (382) and the local Councils of Hippo (393) and Carthage (397), contained in St. Jerome's Latin Vulgate translation (420), and decreed infallibly by the Ecumenical Council of Trent (1570).
In 1862 the Apocrypha was removed from the Spanish Translation. La Santa Biblia, a revision of the complete Bible, was made by Dr. Lorenzo Lucena, a professor at Oxford University. His changes included additional revisions in orthography and a modernized diction was added. The Old Testament Apocrypha which had been placed between the Testaments was removed. This version was commissioned and published for the Society for Promotion of Christian Knowledge or the SPCK by Oxford University Press.3

The first Orthodox Church Bible appeared in 1876. It was left to the 19th century in connection with the establishment of the Russian Bible Society (founded in 1812 at Saint Petersburg, with the consent of Alexander I) to prepare a Bible in the vernacular. The work was undertaken by Filaret, rector of the Theological Academy of Saint Petersburg (afterward metropolitan of Moscow), and other members of the faculty of the academy.

The Gospels were published in 1818 and in 1822 the entire New Testament. In 1820 the translation of the Old Testament was undertaken, and in 1822 Philaret's translation of the Psalms was published. In 1825 the Pentateuch, Joshua, Judges, and Ruth were issued. The year 1826 saw an end to the activity of the Bible Society in the ban put upon all kinds of private associations, even when non-political. Not before 1858 was the work of translation resumed. In 1876 the entire Bible was published in one volume. This translation is called the Synod Version. The Old Testament books, though based upon the Hebrew Bible, follow the order of the Septuagint and the Church Slavonic Bible. The Apocryphal books also form a part of the Russian Bible. The British and Foreign Bible Society also issued a Russian edition, omitting, however, the Apocrypha.4

Bible translations into Portuguese were made from the 13th century onwards, but the first complete translation without the deuterocanonical (Apocrypha) books appeared only in 1753, followed by a full translation including the deuterocanonicals in 1790.

In 1819 the British and Foreign Bible Society published the Almeida Version in a single volume.
Later editions of the Almeida Version, the first of which was published by the British and Foreign Bible Society in 1898, depart from its dependence on the Textus Receptus of the New Testament and take account to a greater or lesser extent of advances in textual criticism, making it conform more closely to what is today accepted as the original Greek text.  An exception is the 1994 edition of the Trinitarian Bible Society of Brazil, which is associated with the Trinitarian Bible Society and is not to be confused with the Bible Society of Brazil, the publisher of "revised and corrected" and "revised and updated" editions of Almeida in 1917, 1956, 1969, 1993, 1995 and 2009. None of these editions contains the deuterocanonical (Apocrypha) books.

A complete translation of the Bible, including the deuterocanonical books, by the Catholic priest Antônio Pereira de Figueiredo, was published as a whole in seven volumes in 1790, after appearing in instalments during the preceding 18 years, beginning in 1778. It was based on the Vulgate.
The British and Foreign Bible Society published the full text as a single volume in 1821 and brought out an edition lacking the deuterocanonical (Apocrypha) books in 1827.
At the start of the 20th century, a translation that was called the Brazilian Version (Tradução Brasileira) was produced, with assistance from the American Bible Society, by members of various Protestant denominations, H.C. Tucker (Methodist), William Cabell Brown (Episcopalian), Eduardo Carlos Pereira (Presbyterian). The Gospels of Matthew and Mark appeared in 1904. A revision of Matthew was published in 1905. The four Gospels and the Acts of the Apostles appeared in 1906 and the whole of the New Testament in 1910. Finally the whole Bible, without the deuterocanoncial (Apocrypha) books came in 1917.5

The War Against the Bible

These books were removed by organizations that were anatagonistic towards the Word of the Lord. The Apocrypha are books of the Holy Bible, and as such are meant to be read, and referred to for instruction, and for wisdom, knowledge, and understanding.

Apocrypha Ecclesiasticus 2:20 The root of wisdom is to fear the Lord, and the branches thereof are long life.

Apocrypha Ecclesiasticus 2:26 If thou desire wisdom, keep the commandments, and the Lord shall give her unto thee.

There always has been, and concurrently exists movements, ideology, philosophy, religions, lifestyles, culture, and civilizations whose purpose is to be in opposition to YAHAWAH the Most High, YAHAWASHI Christ, and the Bible. The book “To Eliminate the Opiate” by Rabbi Marvin Antelman traces the origins of one of these movements. Rabbi Antelman relates a history of Frankist and Illuminati connections, and the effect their union had upon societies, governments, and the continuation of Biblical adversity. One such proselytizer was Frankist Carl Anton who, in 1776, organized the Biblical Destruction Group, "a closed circle of intellectuals whose main objective would be to destroy the Bible."6 The ideological progeny of these two groups branched off into revolutionary and biblical counter groups in central Europe in the late eighteenth century and metastasized in the United States about the middle of the nineteenth century in the form of the political, economic, and social sciences.


Revelations. 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, the LORD shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book.

Revelations. 22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, the LORD shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

Revelations. 22:20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly, A-men. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

The intellectual resistance movements and the spiritual liturgical systems that exist in opposition to the Word of the Most High are worldwide, they are the darkness that covers the world. This is the gross darkness, the lies and confusion that completely blinds the people of the entire world. The Gentiles, whether they are descendants of Israelites unaware that they of Israel scattered throughout the world, or whether they are the nations of the world, will soon come around to know who are representatives of the LORD. The aristocratic priestly families who govern the world, known openly as the Illuminati, will soon see the LORD raise his chosen aristocratic priestly class, the descendants of the royal families of Israel, known as the biblical elect, to govern the world.

Isaiah. 60:2 For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
         
Isaiah. 60:3 And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.

The Way of Heaven On Earth: The Angel of Purification and Destruction Part I



Image of the Trinity Icon

The 'Way of Heaven on Earth', is the way of the Most High LORD YAHAWAH. It is the way the LORD said he wants things done, how they should be done, and how he interacts with his people Israel, and mankind, on the earth, as a consequence. The way of heaven on earth is the similitude of the kingdom of heaven on earth, manifested through the expression of the laws, statues, commandments, and judgments of the Holy Bible, with the wisdom, knowledge, and understanding of the Spirit of the Lord Most High.

The Lord Most High is understood through his explanations of himself, the presence of the Holy Spirit, and the descriptions that inspired Holy men of Israel gave concerning his being.

Many profess that the Lord is unknowable like Agnostics. Many say that are two Gods, one is a creator of the universe, and one is a destroyer, since they believe those two qualities can't exist in the same being. Many profess that there are many Gods, like Panentheism, Pantheism, or Polytheism.

Deuteronomy 6:4 Hear, O' Israel: The LORD thy tutelary is one LORD.

Mark 12:29 And Jesus answered him, The first  of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our tutelary is one Lord.

The Lord is knowable, and he is only one.

Proverbs 16:4 The LORD has made all things for himself: yea (yes), even the wicked for the day of evil. 

The LORD made all the spirits, some of those spirits people worship as independently created Gods. The LORD made the wicked spirits, and made man capable of succumbing to wickedness, and made wicked men to bring evil on the earth. Disasters, and catastrophes, are from the LORD.

Isaiah 45:5 I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:

The LORD controls the conditions on the earth, and gives these to all mankind, whether they worship him or not. Whether conditions of wealth, and glory, or poverty, and misery 

Isaiah 45:6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else.

Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.


The LORD made life, and death, he gives prosperity. or poverty. He gives happiness, or misery. There is one Lord that made all these, there is one LORD that made all these things.

Isaiah 45:12 I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.

There is one LORD that made the earth, and man, and the heavens, the physical heavens called space or outer space, and the spiritual heavens, called the spirit worlds. In Hollywood films like 'Mission to Mars' (2000), and 'Prometheus' (2012) it is imagined that aliens created mankind. The mystic, ceremonial magician Aleister Crowley when using ancient and modern incantation, invocation and magick ceremonies made communication with an entity known as a Lam, he considered it to be of inter-dimensional origin, which was the term then for extraterrestrial. This was in 1918 before the so-called UFO occult community was created to promote occult views to mainstream society. The Hollywood film 'Dark Skies' (2013) does a good job of connecting possession with alien contact, because it is one and the same. 


Samuel. 12:12 when the Lord your Angel was your king.

The Lord is a King.

Exodus. 15:3 The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.

The Lord is a military commander.

Matthew 6:9 Our Father which art in Heaven.

The Lord is a Father.

Genesis. 18:25 That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?

The Lord is a judge that judges according to right and wrong.

Psalm. 98:9 Before the LORD; for he cometh to judge the earth: with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity.

Proverbs. 16:11 A just weight and balance are the LORD’S: all the weights of the bag are his work.

The Lord is equitable, fair and balanced. It isn’t a coincidence that a media outlet like Fox News uses the motto ‘Fair and Balanced’, by saying this they are calling themselves righteous, but according to what, and whose concept of right and wrong?

Isaiah. 49:22 Thus saith the LORD Most High, Behold, I will lift up mine hand to the Gentiles, and set up my standard to the people.

A standard means a place of formation, any figure or object, especially a flag or banner, used as an emblem or symbol of a leader, people, military unit, etc. Something established for use as a rule or basis of comparison in measuring or judging capacity, quantity, content, extent, value, quality, etc. The type, model, or example commonly or generally accepted or adhered to. A level of excellence, attainment, etc. regarded as a measure of adequacy.

The LORD Most High has a standard of right and wrong, and his standard is righteousness, which is produced through the physical image of the working of the Laws of the Lord. Meaning that when people en-masse, live by the laws, and judgments of the bible, then the image heaven on earth is the result. You can then see what heaven on earth looks like. The LORD is in conversation with mankind, and all the nations, and people on the earth. He is questioning them on their liturgical system, and saying this is the way that the foundations of the earth were laid by. This is how man can reach his highest level of attainment. This is how man can become like the Most High Lord. I have built a building and if you take these stairs you can reach the top of the building.

Psalm. 78:5 For he established a testimony in Jacob and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children.

After the flood, Israel was the nation that inherited the way of heaven, and the earthly dominion passed down from Adam. It was given to Noah, and was eventually inherited by Abraham, Issac, and then Jacob whose name was changed to Israel by the Lord. It was handed to the children of Israel through Moses, after they were ritually delivered and cleansed from spiritual and physical bondage they suffered in Egypt, at Mt. Sinai.

Psalm. 24:1 The earth is the LORD’s, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

The earth and all living things, spiritual, and physical belong to the LORD. Whether on land, in the heights of the air, or in the depths of the sea, the LORD's standard has jurisdiction over the whole earth.

Isaiah. 49:22 Thus saith the LORD Most High, behold, I will lift up mine hand to the Gentiles, and set up my standard to the people:

Now there is a distinction between the nations of the world which are called Gentiles, and the heretical Israelites called Gentiles, but that is that topic of conversation which we will present on another occasion. The LORD’s purpose for the people of the earth is to be ruled under a government of righteousness. Not the United States, not the British Empire, not the United Nations, not the Roman Empire, not the European Union, not India, not Russia, not China, or any emerging market. If the foundation of any of these political, social, economic entities actually was the laws of the LORD, found in the bible, then they would be the actual kingdom of heaven on earth.

But as the LORD said in Romans. 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of the Most High.

Sin is opposition to the way of heaven. All nations have had a chance to establish government on the earth, all have fallen short of the standard of the LORD. The established governments even up to the present day but all governments fall, because the way of heaven is not the way that the foundations of those governments is build by. The path, alignments, and patterns of the planets turned into legislation is not the way of heaven. 

Ezekiel. 11:12 And ye shall know that I am the LORD: for ye have not walked in my statutes, neither executed my judgments, but have done after the manners of the heathen that are round about you.

The LORD speaking to Israel, because Israel received the way of heaven, and rejected it, believing that their neighbors, which included all the nations on the earth, had a better standard than the LORD'S standard. They didn't perform a critical analyses of the way of man. The economic, social, and political practices of the nations were all the same, stemming from the Ancient Babylonian scientific ritual system.  

Acts. 17:30 And the times of this ignorance the LORD winked at;

The ignorance encompasses everything from religion to natural philosophy, to scientific rationalism, scientific mysticism, humanism, the rights of man, the constitution, democratic republicanism, communism, civil law, common law, customary law, customary International law, private, and public international law, etc.

It’s similar to the example of a parent who is the owner of a business, and establishes a subsidiary business. He wants his children to run the subsidiary business. So he tells his children how to best organize a business by the book. Do it by the book and you won’t go wrong, and though he punishes the children, he has patience when the children make mistakes, even life threatening mistakes. In the beginning he is patient even when the children throw his book to the side, and attempt to run it their own way.

Acts. 17:24 The LORD that made world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temple made with hands;
 
There is no building that can contain the Holy Spirit of the Most High, and he only appointed two places where he could be communicated with directly. One place was the Tabernacle of the Congregation; the other was the Temple in Jerusalem. Though there are shrines, churches, and temples the world over, the Most High’s presence, is not the presence which resides in those structures. In the Eastern liturgical systems, this is obvious most of the time, because most shrines and temples are dedicated to the God, or the Gods whose spirit resides in it. 

Acts. 17:25 Neither is he worshipped with hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;

Veneration of the Dead; Offering Table


The root of most liturgical practices, is the veneration of the dead, or spirits, which include shrines, joss sticks, and food offering tables. The Most High is not a hungry spirit in need of a food offering table, or a financially broke spirit in need of afterlife money. The liturgical sacrificial institution established at Mt. Sinai, was specific. It was for atonement, thanksgiving,and  purification. These rituals were something Israel, and the nations needed to establish, and keep a healthy relationship with YAHAWAH the LORD MOST HIGH, the creator of Heaven and Earth.

Deuteronomy. 32:40 For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say I live for ever.

The LORD is a living spirit, not a spirit of the dead.

Matthew. 16:15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?

Matthew. 16:16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou, art the Christ, the Son of the living Lord Most High.

YAHAWAH is a Living Lord Most High, a living Spirit.

Deuteronomy. 32:8 When the most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.

All the people of the earth are descendants of Adam through Noah. There is only one biological type of man, and woman. Each nation is a lineage of an extended family, and has a perpetual inheritance of land. Each nation also has chief families, or landowning aristocratic families. As a result of the wicked of mankind wars have cause dispersal, and migrations from the inherited land.

Acts. 17:26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;

All men have a common biological descent. In terms of modern social sciences this is known as Monogenism, the lie and opposing view is Polygenism. Polygenism is a ‘theory’ of human origins positing that the human races are of different lineages, or species. There are not different species, or races of man, just different families, who extend back to one bloodline.

Everyone on Earth has a place, an inherited land, and has property. As a result of man’s wickedness, man has faced wars and suffered the loss his inherited lands. Now men suffer famine, and the current elite aristocratic priestly families who control finances, the governments, and global corporations have large possessions of available arable lands. The rejection of the LORD’s ways has led the world's populations into destruction.

The current elite aristocratic priestly class' worldview is that there are too many people, and not enough resources on the earth to feed everyone. This is because the lands that belong to the various nations on the earth are in the wrong hands, through wars, and robbery.

Acts. 17:27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us.

Mankind doesn’t seek the Lord, because they are rebelling against him, so he is far from them.

Acts. 17:28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your poets have said, For we are his offspring.

The spiritual world resides within the Most High and the physical world exists within the spiritual world. Man comes from the Lord Most High. He created man, and the universe.

Acts. 17:30 But now commandeth all men everywhere to repent.

This first and foremost applies to the elect of the Israel, the noble born of Israel, because they are the government of Israel. They have to act accordingly, and behave on earth according to the image of heaven.

Acts. 14:16 Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways.

All the different rite systems or religions on the earth have been allowed by the Lord for a time, so that man would learn what wrong and right is. Every single lifestyle choice has been allowed by the Lord. It’s an educational lesson, to show that even though every way of man is possible that doesn’t mean all ways are the perfect way.


Branches of The Ancient Babylonian Rite System; The world's rite systems

Acts. 17:31 Because he hath appointed a day, in which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained;

All the while the Lord scheduled a day to establish order in the likeness of the spiritual order in heaven. People speculate as to whom this man might be, and many men have pretended to be the Messiah, or Son of the God, or Gods. As this was a custom of the nations in antiquity, that their political-spiritual rulers were physical manifestations of a God, this made him their Messiah. Even today the western Catholic head is called the Pope, or Vicar, the physical embodiment of the Christ on earth. There are even present claimants to the title of the King of Jerusalem. This goes into avatarism, which we won’t cover today, as I want to stay on topic, but essentially, this is speculation, and goes into the idea of men choosing Barabbas the social radical, and thief over Christ.

Acts. 17: 31 whereof he hath given assurance unto all men,

The LORD knowing men would speculate about who his representative is, and would speculate about whom men should follow, so he gave an assurance, so that you would know for sure.

Acts. 17:31 in that he hath raised him from the dead.

Resurrection Rise from the Grave 17th Century Icon

By now the whole world knows who this is, he is Ahdawan Yahawashi Hamashiyachaa, whom the world knows as Lord Jesus Christ, son of Yahawah Lord Most High.

Psalm. 86:8 Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works.

Whether it's the worship of the stars, and planets, astrotheology, or the worship of the earth, animism, and shamanism, there is no other spiritual-physical liturgical system that produces the fruit of the physical manifestation of heaven on earth. Only the liturgical system of the Bible can produce heaven on earth.

Psalm. 86:9 All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.

The Lord made all people on the earth, all ethnicities, and all nations. After the fall of all the governments, and religious systems on the earth, all people on the Earth will follow the laws of the Bible, and the way of the LORD.

Proverb. 16:12 It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness.

The ruler-ship of the earth, meaning the head of all governance can only be established, after the pattern of the eternal kingdom in heaven. There is no Kingdom, Empire, Country or Nation-State that can exist for long by the principles of oppression, murder, rape, and robbery. This applies to the U.N., and the E.U. The One World Government will be established with the Kingdom of Israel.

Apocrypha Ecclesiasticus. 10:8 Because of unrighteous dealings, injuries, and riches got by deceit, the kingdom is translated from one people to another.

Chinese Riots
These are the things that cause governments to fall. These are the unsound principles that are causing the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France, Argentina, Italy, Saudi Arabia, and the rest of the Sovereign Nation-States to fall. These unjust principles are what caused the Global Banking System to fall, and its deceitful practices will finish it off for good.

Romans. 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

We live in a world patterned after the reasoning of man, and his imaginations, the Kingdom of Heaven on earth can’t be created that way. That is why the elite aristocratic priestly class, also known as the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation, that forms the strongest governing body of this world has placed the option on the table, of destroying the populated centers of the world, and trying to start over.

The just man is the Israelite man that lives in the future by practicing the laws of the Bible, knowing that the laws of the Bible contain the future lifestyle, and way of life on Earth. This is living by faith. The economic and societal collapse is upon us, a man who truly reasons would prepare for it.
